The answer is 72 cows, 18 horses, and 9 pigs. According to the information given, there are four times as many cows as horses on the farm, so if we let the number of horses be x, then the number of cows would be 4x. Additionally, there are twice as many horses as pigs, so the number of pigs would be x/2. Substituting these values into the answer choices, we find that only the option with 72 cows, 18 horses, and 9 pigs satisfies both conditions.Rate this question:
